Oakville Beaver Managing Editor Rod Jerred earned a second-place win in the Best Non-Page One Layout category, primarily for his layouts in the Is there a Doctor in the House? features series. Finally, Oakville Beaver summer intern Chris Kornacki finished third in the Best Sports Photography category for his picture, Okay, here's the play, of a Little League pitcher and catcher discussing strategy on the mound during a game. General Manager David Harvey said he's thrilled with the wins. "I am very proud of the team at The Oakville Beaver for winning three SNA Editorial Awards," he said. "It is truly an honour to work with such talented people who deserve this recognition for their creativity and quality of work."
